1994 Mazda MX5 Tokyo Ltd

Two seats, a soft top and rear-wheel drive are the three ingredients that form the basis of a recipe for success. Add in a dash of affordability, a pinch of cute styling and lashings of handling prowess and you're well on your way to a Michelin Star winning banquet of a car!

When Mazda designed its MX-5 it kept things simple. The concept was to recreate a classic British sports car of days gone by - a modern interpretation of a Lotus Elan or MGB - and boy did they crack it! As only the Japanese can, they took an idea that we had and made it even better - and over the years buyers have lapped it up.

This particular MX5 is one of 40 that were ever manufactured and called the "Tokyo Limited'. There were 20 manual cars and 20 automatics, specification included Brilliant Black paintwork, cream leather interior with alcantara blue suede dash, air conditioning, tan coloured soft top, highly polished spoke alloys, chrome door mirrors, polished tread plates and a sports steering wheel, all of which made this a very high spec MX5.

We are informed that this beautifully presented car was previously owned by a lady vicar (honestly!). It benefits from a recent major service and cambelt change by a recognised MX5 specialist along with a brand new MOT. The car drives superbly and looks absolutely stunning, these cars offer that rare combination of great looks with ease of maintenance as well, a great way into classic car ownership.
